Geez. And if he did have a relationship with her, who cares (other than his wife)?

Glad I didn't have to write that story.

Well, Ace, assuming you didn't mean to put on the blue font, if she was covering him and having a relationship with him at the same time, and nobody knew, then a lot of people would care at her paper, and rightfully so.

Yes. But the story was written as a superintendent having a relationship with a reporter -- not as a reporter having a relationship with a source.

The e-mails also raise questions about the objectivity of The Herald's schools coverage last year. The Herald's ethics policy prohibits reporters from having a ''close personal relationship'' with people they cover, and conflicts of interest must be disclosed to editors.

''There are long-standing and very clear standards when it comes to relationships with the people we cover,'' Herald Executive Editor Anders Gyllenhaal said. ``If these e-mails are real, this violates some of the most basic rules of our profession.''

So that's who cares.

If someone doctored the e-mail communications between the guy and the reporter, who would it be, how would they have access and what would the motive be, considering she's no longer on the job or even in town?
